Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Armaghtoffee]

Morning mate, I'll be walking the dog and the rest of the time just trying to be comfortable. Might do a bit of gaming.

Hope you have some good plans or has snow scuppered that?

Is there anywhere I can get the Blackadder series to watch, I don't have sky? I always loved Hugh Laurie's charcter the Prince I used to howl at that.

I’m working today but thankfully that is at home so my plans aren’t impacted at all. Well the schools are closed so my house won’t be quite as peaceful as I would like ?

U.K. Gold at 2.40pm today has an episode on if that helps. I’m guessing YouTube would have most episodes with a bit of hunting.

I'll check youtube, I have been watching these police audits on YT, have you seen them, quite funny.

The problem for Sassy is that it has so many references to British history and politics and might go over her head ,she will still think it is funny though .

Blackdadder is a singular British type of humour. Although it works on so many levels for us I'm not sure that it resonates well in other countries.
I don't think that it is a universal form of humour like Bean.

Nope, there are a new one for me. Will look them out.

Morning all, thankyou for your kind messages yesterday.

No wind or rain today for a change fingers crossed stays that way.

Hi T , hope everything is OK with you.
Raining here but snow forecast even on lower ground as we are.
Might be heading your way too.
Get that walk in with Daisy whilst you can.
Lovely weather forecast for the weekend

I don't know if they'll be everyone's cup of tea, it's people going o police stations filming to see if police infringe on public rights, some might find them a bit antagonistic, I find them amusing.

I will try that.

Pointing a camera at police over here does not end well let me tell you ?

I bet haha it is quite shocking how quickly some of these police lose their shiz and use stop and search under the terrorism act just for filming in public which is a legal activity.

Read a great article yesterday about policing here and how it is evolving etc but one line stuck in my head regarding public interaction with an officer. How the officer behaves is ‘either building a bridge or putting another brick in the wall’.

I think that applies to police everywhere like and probably all our social interactions really.

@Harryflashman havent seen you on in a while. Hope all is well and we see you again soon mate.

I watched Brahms The Boy 2 yesterday, it is almost identical to the true story of Robert the doll but says it isn't based on anything. Robert the doll is very creepy a bit like Annabelle

Morning all. Grey and drizzly here this morning. Just had a phone call from my neighbour, the one who was scammed the other day. She is worrying now that her replacement card hasn’t turned up yet, and she won’t have access to any cash, which she doesn’t need at the moment anyway. Have just spent 15 minutes trying to reassure her that it is on its way and may turn up today, if she gets desperate for cash I’ll sub her. If only these people could see the distress they cause but then again they have no heart so why would they care?. Hope everyone has a good day.

As I’ve said in other threads at the time, I actually spoke to the scammers on an old fellas phone once.
I was pretending to be the old fella to buy some time for the police to get hold of them.
It’s remarkably common in retail for older people to come into shops and buy hundreds of pounds worth of Amazon or iTunes cards and give them to someone to ‘pay off a debt’.
That call I had was chilling but it was well worth it in the end.
I logged into his online bank and transferred his money to a secure account just before they got hold of it.
You wonder how people fall for stuff, but these guys are ruthless.
